Nice legs!

Damn. That is horrible. How did the neural damage happen by the way, if you don't mind me asking?

Gee Shazza, I feel bad for your problem. A couple summers ago I almost drowned and in the process of getting out of a bad surf I came out with a splitting headache that lasted for weeks. It gradually subsided but would recur with very little provocation. I still managed to go to work but was often nauseous. I was guessing an aneurism in the side where the pain was worst. But I didn't get a bleed as you had. I have heard that it can be fatal. I guess you are lucky it wasn't? And it doesn't look all that bad. I mean it doesn't look good but then it's not frightful. And the pointers did help otherwise I would be wondering what was wrong. It's good you are dealing with it and can still enjoy life. Thanks for all your great posts in the past.

Glad you are alive...surviving is a sonofabitch sometimes...but makes us the great people we are

Thanks Fritter, that's a nice thing to say. I do have to keep on keeping on as they say.

The neural damage was a result of brain tissue destruction when my arterial malformation ruptured. Pressure on the brain from the bleeding caused perma-damage to the section controlling my left leg

Wow- i'm so sorry you've been through so much crap but you seem to have come through it well when a lot of people would have just given up and resigned themselves to a lifes suffering.

Good on you girl, and i like the pointers :-)
